Situation At The Ruins

Lin Mu had expected Alchemist Ruoxian's question and already had a response prepared.

"I managed to get the Hundred Year old Essence Spring Stalactite before everything happened. But I escaped at the first sign of trouble. Right now I'm hiding a few hundred kilometers from the ruins. I didn't want the people of the Grand Sky Pavilion or other powers to notice me." Lin Mu answered.

"That's great!" Alchemist Ruoxian felt greatly relieved. "It's also good that you escaped and hid. They are throughly checking all the cultivators that are appearing here right now. The ones that were camping were also taken into custody." He explained.

"I see…" Lin Mu replied. 'Just like I had thought. No way they wouldn't suspect the people around them first.'
